The Professional Women’s Hockey League disclosed to The Associated Press that the Walter Cup belonging to Montreal Victoire, the league’s champion, is currently missing. The PWHL released a brief statement indicating that the trophy did not arrive at its intended destination as scheduled and assured that they are collaborating with the shipping company to locate it.

The trophy was expected to be transported to Lethbridge, Alberta, for a planned event with Victoire forward Dara Greig. However, upon the container’s arrival, the Walter Cup was notably absent, prompting Greig to postpone her scheduled appearance with the trophy. Unlike the NHL’s Stanley Cup, the PWHL does not assign a dedicated individual to accompany the trophy during its travels to player events.

It is uncertain where the missing Walter Cup was last accounted for. Notably, the trophy awarded on the ice to championship-winning teams is permanently housed at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. The missing version is a reproduction presented to the victorious teams for retention purposes.

The trophy, crafted by Tiffany & Co., is composed of sterling silver and weighs around 35 pounds, standing 24 inches tall and 13 inches wide. It features six W’s representing the league’s original franchises and rests on hockey stick-shaped rods, with the base depicting a puck inscribed with the names of championship teams.

In May, Montreal secured the cup by triumphing over Ottawa in Game 4 of a best-of-five series, becoming the first Canadian team to clinch the PWHL title. The trophy is named after PWHL founder and primary benefactor, Mark Walter, owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and his wife, Kimbra.
